Carlton Continental frame. Seat tube 22.5' top tube 22'.
Includes a new 48 tooth cottered crankset, new axel and overhauled original BB and headset.

Reluctant to sell but another project requires the money.

The top tube has lost a lot of the blue coating finish but the underneath chrome is ok.

Seatpost included... I used the post to test some paint I bought hoping it might match. It wasn't quite close enough so I left the top tube as it is.

I can do a trade for a nice pair if wheels (shimano 7 speed, silver mavic rims) off my broken r400 dale.

Sounds good I'll pm my email

Didn't trade in the end... Probably more likely just for cash.

Hi,

you know what tubing was used to build it ?
HiTen or Reynolds?

I've got a Continental from that era as well, but it's made of HiTen, if this is Reynolds (as it looks like), I might be interested.

mmm actually it may be HiTen ...

Hi

I didn't know that!
There's nothing else written on the frame... Unless the serial number helps?

Still for sale.
No longer looking for trade though.
Shame I don't have time to build it up. Perhaps that would gain more interest.

£100 ono

Nice frame. I used to have one of these as a youngster - in Carmine Red, - been looking for one for a while - unfortunately not my size, but GLWS!

What is your size?

Price drop £80

Needs to go :(

Heya,

What's the original size of the wheels on this frame? What is the rear forks spacing and is the current BB tapared or cottorless

Hi

I don't know what wheels came with it but probably 700c as that fits.
126mm rear spacing.
Spindle is for cottered crankset which is what comes with it (brand new)

I'd like to purchase it. Can you PM me to arrange a meeting?

Now sold.
Thanks dovydasG
